There is much to admire about this remarkable woman. As a bouncy-curled child, her dimples and talent brought a generation through the Great Depression. She was an admired diplomat and had a loving marriage of 54 years. She gave a voice to breast cancer survivors at a time when such things were seldom discussed in public.
Rest in peace, Shirley. Entertain them upstairs, hear?
I really liked her movies...so sad to hear she has passed I do hope it was swift. RIP Shirley
ReplyDeleteMy daughter had hair like Shirley Temple when she was tiny and I was beyond thrilled. Strangers would comment that they both had the same curly hair...of course it might have helped that my daughter had blond hair. Lol....
ReplyDeleteI was sorry to see that Shirley had passed on but she did leave us with a lot of fond memories and a great role model. Few and far between in these times.
What a doll. She was as classy as they come.

A long time ago!
My goodness, me too! I lived in Wilmington then. Our costumes were the most awesome purple tutus with white polka dots...made me feel like Shirley Temple. Fond memories from 35 years ago!
DeleteShe had a fine run, a fairly admirable life.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we don't have more stars like her today.
From Shirley Temple to Miley Cyrus and Justin Beeber. Sheesh. Wow.
Entertain them upstairs? Was she saved? Did she accept Christ as her Saviour?
